Moreover it complains about not recognizing the type of my crash > folders. I've found the problem. The reason is that procmail doesn't create standard mboxes by default. One has to append the parameter -f %Name. The option-entry in .fetchmailrc has to be: mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %Name" If the vm-folders are created with this option, vm works fine. This must be a known problem. I wonder that no Howto refers to it. All the best wishes and a Happy New Year to all Sven
